    Beef Egg Foo Young
    Kiana K.

    Came here tonight because my boyfriend and I were craving Chinese food. We're newer to the area and this was the closest place so we gave it a shot and I'm so glad we did. The owner is so friendly and genuinely cares about you liking your food! I've never had egg foo young and he kindly answered my questions and it was delicious. I wish I took photos before we ate! The shrimp and lobster sauce is great too. We'll definitely be regulars here :)

    LoMein w/ beef, chicken & pork

    My dad loves Chinese food, so I had to find this on the fly. I saw a lot of ppl in their cars waiting when I pulled up, so that was a good sign that the food is decent. My dad ordered LoMein w/ chicken/pork and beef. I opted for shrimp w garlic veggies and cheese wontons. The wontons were chewy & not crisp like I prefer. I couldn't tell if they were old or undercooked. Filling was bland; no chives, carrots or seasoning at all. My dad like his dish and I actually enjoys the shrimp and veggies. I questioned whether the mushrooms were fresh, but I'm a borderline vegetarian. So I am super picky about my veggies. All in all, I would stop by again out of convenience. As, I walked in the order our food and it was ready in 15mins. Let me know what you think and if you find a dish I should try next time:)

    This is definitely now our go to Chinese spot! The food was delicious and plenty full for the price. Service was very attentive, and the vibes are great and gives you kind of a old school dinner feel. We will be returning soon!

    If I could give zero stars I would..... I was highly optimistic about trying something new. We ordered out and received our order. I bit into an egg rolls and when I went to pull it from my mouth I realized there was a HAIR!!!!! A whole strand of hair half in my mouth half still attached to the egg roll.... Never.. I repeat NEVER order from here.

    Boneless Spare Ribs with Steamed Rice and Hot And Sour Soup. This Lunch Special item comes with an Egg roll
    Richard G.

    Conveniently located off Beltway 8 and Wilson Rd, I generally come in here when I'm in the mood for the Boneless Spare Ribs. I'm a fan of the American-Chinese cuisine, especially from the NY/NJ area, and the fried rice is made differently up north, so I stick with the steamed rice at China Star. Check it out! Their vegetables and ingredients taste fresh, and the service is quick.

    Lunch special
    Danny L.

    If there really was a General Tso, he probably would go to China Star for lunch, especially if his lunch break was only one hour (food and service is quick!). Coworkers and I defaulted into trying this place after driving to Chic-Fil-A next door and discovering that it was closed due to construction. It was a safer option than Taco Bell. No regrets too! We all ordered from the lunch special menu, served 11:00 am - 3:00 pm everyday. The lunch special offers a wide assortment of Americanized Chinese cuisine such as Orange Chicken and General Tso. Best part is that each lunch special includes a bowl of hot soup (egg drop, hot and sour, or wonton), rice (white or fried), and egg roll for $7.31 (after tax)! Not bad for the amount of food you get. I ordered the General Tso's Chicken, because who can resist? The dish came out really quick and hot. Portion size was large with a fair amount of rice to meat ratio. The General Tso's chicken is really good and what you would expect from the dish. It doesn't compare to how my favorite Americanized Chinese restaurant makes it (Chinese Star at UH main campus), but it's still really good for the price. Service is quick. Everything from ordering, water refills, food arriving, to check. We were in and out of there in less than one hour, making it an ideal spot for casual business lunch with coworkers. Overall, this place is a top choice for lunch breaks at work. The food is good, comes out quick, and has great value on lunch special.

    Scallops

    They gave 1 scallop with the Happy Family and 8 small scallops equal to about 3 with the scallop with snow peas which had mixed veggies and not just snow peas.When we called the customer service rep was very rude.DO NOT EAT HERE!

    Food was the opposite of fresh but tasty. Too much salt in the food. The price is very affordable. Egg rolls are good.

The second time I visited, I had the Hong Shao Rou with mushrooms (Braised Pork Belly) to-go, not a huge fan of takeout and this didn't disappoint and it was good. The takeout team member was pleasant enough. They feature an open kitchen with two tops closer to the wall/glass and larger tables more toward the middle of the restaurant. From the outside it features the traditional Chinese architecture with western building base. I look forward to yaksying the rest of the menu this year.

But the inconsistency has been an issue for me, and the flavors aren't as good as they once were. Dishes I regularly ordered like Kung Pao Chicken, Mongolian Beef, Japanese Egg Tofu, and Honey Walnut Shrimp haven't stood out as much as of lately. Dishes like Szechuan Spicy Chicken is still one of my favorite, and Garlic Snow Pea Leaves are delicious when in season. Bamboo House still holds its place as great spot for group dining. The portion is generous, prices are fair, and overall a solid restaurant that's still worth recommending.

    Left No Grain of Rice Behind (and Met a Track Star)…read more (10/10) My husband and I wandered into Imperial China on a quiet night - just us two lovebirds and the immaculately clean scent of... well, perfection. Seriously, the place smelled so fresh you could probably perform surgery in the dining room (don't worry, they stick to cooking, which is way more impressive). But the real MVP was Kendall She ran the register, served us, and basically orchestrated our entire evening with the grace of a future Olympic athlete... which, as it turns out, isn't far off! She mentioned she used to run track and is getting back into it. Let me tell you, that explains everything. The speed at which she refilled our water? Blink-and-you-miss-it. The efficiency of her service? Faster than the hurdles she used to jump over. We half-expected her to hand us our fortune cookies while doing hurdle drills over the chairs! Kendall, if you're reading this - you're amazing, and please save some gold medals for the rest of us mere mortals. Now, the FOOD. Oh. My. Wok. We're usually "leftover champions" at Chinese restaurants - it's practically our marital duty. But not this time. We ordered the Combination Fried Rice loaded with goodies) and the Hunan Chicken (spicy, savory, downright addictive). It was so unbelievably delicious, so flawlessly cooked, that we licked our plates clean. Seriously. Not a single grain of rice, not a stray pepper, not even a suspiciously saucy smudge escaped. Our dog is currently giving us the stink-eye because there were zero take-home boxes. Zero! Imperial China broke our leftover streak, and we're not even mad. And as if the universe was nodding along, our fortune cookie sealed the deal: Thursday will bring trust on your new journey." Considering our journey involved demolishing enough food for three people and meeting a future track legend, we'd say it's already pretty darn trustworthy! Overall 10 out of 10. Flawless cleanliness, food that made us abandon all dignity (and leftovers), service faster than Kendall's personal best, and a fortune that felt weirdly on-point. Imperial China, you've won our hearts, our stomachs, and our clean plate awards. We'll be back... probably on Thursday. Just in case.

    Been ordering up Chinese found here for a few years, but we're likely not going to do so again…read more Gotten to the point where you get home and find $4-7 of the order wasn't received. And the last order just a couple days ago we discovered an intact full chicken embryo in the egg drop soup and didn't find it until we were on the last few spoons of soup. Which pretty much grossed us out.
